I started App-o-Mat as an iOS tutorial site back when I was consulting. It mostly had cordova screencasts.  I’m going to be doing more writing about iOS there (native and possibly cordova-based).

You can subscribe to the mailing list there if you want to get updates. If you have requests for topics to write about, let me know.
